Welcome to Westover!
Welcome to the new online version of the Property Update Report for Westover Village.
Westover has long been known as a quiet, eclectic "urban village" in North Arlington. Home to shops and restaurants, it has a very small town feel, but with big city advantages, like being close to the Metro and major commuting routes.
Westover is on the National Register of Historic Places. Here is the summary from the Register:
Located in northwestern Arlington County, Virginia, the Westover Historic District is a residential neighborhood of 418 primary resources on 143.363 acres. The neighborhood was constructed in five phases: Westover Apartments (1939), Westover Hills (1940-1941), Keene's Addition to Westover (1941), Westover Park (1942, 1943, 1947, 1948), and Mason's Addition to Westover (1955-1957). It is bounded by 18th Street North and North Longfellow Street on the north, North Jefferson Street on the east, Interstate 66 (I-66) on the south, and McKinley Road on the west. The residential streets of Westover are lined with Colonial Revival-style single-family dwellings, twin houses, duplexes, and multi-family garden apartments primarily constructed by Mace Properties, Inc. with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The buildings are sited away from the streets to provide for ample yards and many of the houses have paved driveways to provide for off-street parking. Rolling hills and clusters of woodland define the neighborhood, which is interspersed with winding streets and cul-de-sacs. The commercial district, centered along North Washington Boulevard and Patrick Henry Drive, contains a shopping center, the Claude A. Swanson Junior High School, and the Westover Baptist Church. Swanson Park, located along the southwest border of the school site, connects the school grounds and the neighborhood with pedestrian paths. A planned park is located in the southern section of the neighborhood and is presently known as Westover Park.
